Introduce logging support for MvcResult details in the Spring MVC Test framework [SPR-13171]

[spring-projects-issues]

Sam Brannen opened SPR-13171 and commented

Status Quo

The Spring MVC Test framework has always supported printing debug information about the MvcResult to System.out; however, there is currently not a mechanism for choosing a different output stream or for having the information logged via a logging framework.

Deliverables

1. Introduce a new log() method in MockMvcResultHandlers for logging the output via Commons Logging and Log4j.
   • Consider introducing additional print(..) variants for printing debug information to custom output streams.

Implemented in GitHub commit 693dcba:

Introduce LoggingResultHandler in Spring MVC Test

Prior to this commit, the Spring MVC Test framework only provided support for printing debug information about the MvcResult to STDOUT.

This commit introduces support for logging MvcResult details at DEBUG level via the Apache Commons Logging API. In addition, this commit introduces additional print(..) variants for printing debug information to custom output streams and writers.

Specifically, MockMvcResultHandlers has been augmented with the following new static methods:

• log()
• print(OutputStream)
• print(Writer)
